This is a great series if you’re looking for a tutorial. https://lettier.github.io/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners/inde...
Project mention: Idk if anyone's done a one-handed hitless run of the game or anything crazy like that, and this is 100% not that (i get hit A LOT on these runs) but Im still pretty proud of this. | /r/shittydarksouls | 2023-12-10The emulator: https://rpcs3.net/ The rom: https://vimm.net/vault/24833 I forget if you need anything else but finding a video on YouTube is not very hard for rpcs3, a bit complicated, sorry I can't remember how to do it all, it's been a while.
Project mention: WebKit Switching to Skia for 2D Graphics Rendering | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-20
Minecraft runs on various Javas.
And there's a known issue with an interaction between minecraft, Java, and the video drivers that crashes out and it can be traced back all the way to here: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1997
It's not fixed.
Project mention: Looking for ways to run AI GUI software via cloud gpu compute | /r/Cloud | 2023-11-13The software in question is on Github called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI
Someone is trying to game on them, or at least run DirectX apps in Linux, based on this PR: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/3795
Project mention: Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-03Yes. Web-llm is a wrapper of tvmjs: https://github.com/apache/tvm
Just wrappers all the way down
Wgpu seems very very well loved & supported, is one of the most successful comings together of the graphics world in ages. I'd love to hear some actual critique of it, hear what people think are shortcomings, because it feels to an outsider like this is the fantasy land, that we're living in the better place now. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu
Samples in https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan have shown how to use vkCreateHeadlessSurfaceEXT. But these headless samples crash at acquireNextImage from the swapchain. Now I guess the problem lies in the vulkan-wsi-layer.

I want to install Mango hud so I can use it for steam and lutris but when i go to https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud the so many ways of installing it I don’t know which one to choose for pop!_os. I did try a couple but it didn’t seem like it worked because when I put the launch command in one of my Steam games which was cyberpunk I didn’t see it pop up in game and when I tried to add the command to Lutris the option for the FPS counter was still grayed out. Can someone help me step-by-step on how to install mango hud on pop!_os? Thanks.
